GL Manufacturing - K&F; Fabrications - Kuluin QLD
K&F; Fabrications has been delivering high-end architectural metalwork on the Sunshine Coast for over 30 years. Under new ownership since ****, the business is being run the way a good fabrication shop should be - proper equipment, clear systems, and people who care about the quality of what goes out the door.
We do bespoke, high-quality work - custom architectural builds that take real skill, not bulk orders and repeat runs. The team is small by design, close-knit, and holds itself to a high standard.
We're looking for a
Fitter - Welder
to step into a key role in our workshop - someone experienced enough to lead by example, set the standard for quality, and bring others up with them as we grow. For the right person, there's a clear pathway into a
Foreman
role.
What You'll Do
Interpret workshop drawings, architectural plans, technical specifications and job instructions to determine material requirements, fabrication methods, dimensions, tolerances and the appropriate sequence of operations.
Measure, mark out, cut, drill, shape and prepare aluminium, stainless steel and other metal components using hand tools, power tools and workshop machinery in preparation for fitting and assembly.
Fit, align and assemble fabricated metal parts and subassemblies, ensuring that components are positioned accurately and comply with specified measurements, tolerances and project requirements.
Weld aluminium and stainless-steel components using appropriate welding processes and equipment, including MIG and TIG welding, to manufacture custom metal products and structural assemblies.
Fabricate and assemble custom-made metalwork,



including balustrades, handrails, pedestrian and driveway gates, pool fencing, privacy screens, pergolas and other architectural metal products.
Inspect completed assemblies and welded joints for dimensional accuracy, alignment, weld penetration, finish and overall compliance with drawings, specifications and applicable quality standards.
Grind, clean, polish and finish welded components, removing excess weld material and surface imperfections to prepare fabricated products for powder coating, installation or final delivery.
Assist with the installation, adjustment, repair and maintenance of fabricated metal products on residential and commercial sites, while operating tools and equipment safely and complying with workplace health and safety procedures.
What You Bring
Extensive experience in aluminium and stainless steel fabrication
Advanced TIG welding ability in both materials, with a finish to match
Confidence reading and working from technical drawings
The kind of attention to detail that means you catch problems before they happen
An eye for quality and a natural tendency to help others get there too
A positive, professional attitude and the maturity to take on more responsibility over time
You notice where things could work better – and you take ownership to fix it
Why K&F;?

- proper gear for people who care about the result
Architectural-grade, one-off projects - not production-line work
A clear pathway to Foreman for the right person
A small, capable team where your skills are genuinely valued
